TIRE LoriIIard strike.

JERSEY CITY, N. j., January 10
The committee appointed by District
Assembly 40, OF the Knights of La
Dor, to adjust the difference of Messrs.
P. Lorillard & Co. with their employees,
reported to the assembly that the firm
reiuted to treat with them. AS this
was the day set for paying a small
balance due the strikers for work done
last week, the Assembly issued orders
to the strikers to refrain from collect
ing their money. The order was not
obeyed by the strikers, who collected
in large numbers about the factory.
Several Of the walking delegates en-
deavoIed to persuade them to return
home, but this they refused to do. The
strikers received their pay and re-
turned quietly to their homes There
are signs Of discomfort appearing
among the strikers, and it is thought
now that it will be only short time
before they will be ready to return.
About 800 of the Lorillard strikers
returned to work today on the old
terms, and constant acquisitions are
being made from the forces of the
strikers. 1t is believed that the bot.
tom of the strike has fallen out, and
that the factory will be running in a
few days with full complement Of
hands, as usual.
Charles Hague, a Waterman en-
ployed at the factory, has become vio-
lently insane from anxiety and worry
incident to the strike.

TRICHINE
Kills n Man and His Wife-Their
Sensations Before Death.

MILWAUKEE, WIS, January 2O.-A
special to the Evening Wisconsin from
Stevens's Point, Wiz, says: Some six
weeks ago Silas Philbrick and his wife
were both taken sick, complaining of a
tired, rheumatic feeling, with pains in
the muscles OF their limbs. Later they
were seized with nausea aud vomiting,
and having the sensation of thousands
OF needles penetrating their flesh.
Their throats became partially para
lyzsd, and in a few days Mrs. Phil
brick died. The day before she died
she appeared better, and asked for
various kinds OF food for which she
seemed to crave. Her husband com.
menced to grow stronger and was
able to sleep, whereupon he went to
the home of his parents, mile away.
Here he suffered relapse and died. 1t
has now been aScertsined that the
cause which befflad the physicians
skill was trichine.

The QUESTION OF WAGES
DISCUSSED BY A PROMINENT
IRON MASTER.
The LOrillards Refuse to Confer
With a Committee From the
Knights of Labor.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 20
The Press quotes a prominent iron
master as saying: =,
"The wages of the men are based
on minimum price OF So per ton: AS
the market improves and the selling
price advances the wages of each class
OF workmen are increased according
to a sch eiule. The price of iron at
the mills has been unsettled OF late,
ranging from / 95 100 to cents and
higher, according to the conditions OF
delivery. 1t has proved unsstl5fsc-
tory on all sides, and the improved
market warauting it, the selling price
has advanced, by agreement In the
Eastern Association, to- lilo cents
per pound. AS compared with the
demoralizsd basis OF nearly year ago,
should estimate that the advance
means from II to ID per cent. higher
wages. The great question is: Will
the iron men maintain the price? II
they do not wages, Of course, will get
another set back. There are nearly
1000 EN- ployes of the Eastern Associa.
tion in the city. 1t is believed
that the effect of the advance
will be to quiet the labor
distul Dances, and the prospect Of
continued prosperity in the industry
makes mill owners sanguine for a
peaceful year. While the laborers
are rejoicing over a prospective raise
in wages, the manufacturers begin to
fear that in this marvellous advance
in the prices of iron too much pros
perity may ensue. The opinion OF
Vice President James M. Swank, of
the American Iron and Steel Associa-
ton, that the price of iron may be ad-
vanced to the importing point, was the
only topic of discussion in the iron Of
fees on South Fourth street yesterday,
and his views were generally Endorsed.
1t is believed that the danger of EGG
lieh importatiops of iron, Endorsed by
the high figures prevailing and the
still higher prices in prospect, is really
imminent,

reservoir to draw u. Trenton rock was
touched at 995 feet, and the output OF both oil

flow was so strong that it prevented the work

fires put out the oil continued to come without
diminution. 1t is estimated. by those acquainted
with oil wells, that the flow reaches 500 barrels
every twenty four hours. For a distance around

deep, covered the land and ran into the cutters
